  1. Crazy…. Still prefer Traka!
  2. And so Mudbound begins, let’s see who has their nutrients locked in and can ride without any tyre issues. I see Chase is sport the Disc Wheel faring again from HED. Watch this guy, he could podium today!
  3. So nice to see an event that is catering for the gravel beginners. That route is full of eye candy! I hope this event gets great numbers.
  4. I think carrying everything in your back pockets is pretty old school! 😂😂 I always think, if you go down… you can loose all your stuff, but yeah be cool hey! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 ride like a bomb but don’t have any! 🤭 *- The style police left the building long ago when baseball socks became aero. 😂😂😂
  5. I wonder how long the Italians will tolerate The Pog Machine? Will they be brave enough to expose the dirty secret or just tow the UCI rope?
  6. Hey nice1 boet.. listen if you out that way, checkout Unna! Lovely town. I highly recommend it. Keep riding man.👍🏻🤛🏻😎
  7. What a performance! What a race… not one European rider on the podium! 😅
  8. Pog has tweaked his prep, the team will not allow their investment to start any GT on a fatigue level. Getting out sprinted is no room for concern. But this Giro has plenty of individual advantages were riders that can cycle smart, not hard will be rewarded. I just hope the weather plays fair. We are in for some rough days guys. As you were. Pedal on.😜
  9. Proper piece of art! That stem bar combo is fantastic! 🤛🏻
  10. I hope Pozzo gets the job done… not many can do what his just about to do! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 respecto!
  11. A frame, this is the top of the line model.. called Alada! See what I did there <
  12. ..Cut It Thomas, it’s all about the TT’s this year. Plus the contract did say, don’t come to races looking like a “git”!🤭
  13. ..let’s just look at this way, your teeth are just a good retaining wall for spit!🤭
  14. What a legend….and not too long ago.. I heard Dylan Johnson last year saying..oh there was this guy with KS in a Toyota kit…🤭. I guess Dylan… got to see what happens when Matt opens a Beer of whip ass!😅
  15. Yeah will be following… tough ride that, considering European weather abnormally strange this year. Some heavy hitters lining up. My moneys on Vos for the repeat win!
  16. Keep up the positive vibes… and be still with a grateful heart brother. Stay strong, only God has got you! ✅🙏🏻🫵🏻
  17. Models Gossamer Pro AGX and CK 6037 (2x /1x) are having drive side bonding issues, best to stop using them! Contact local distributor.
  18. Need a good gravel event up there… I know you can do it.🤓✅
  19. Riding used to be just that… riding/,racing whatever. They main focus was about been out there. We spent a lot of time chatting more about roads and routes than wasting time on figuring out the latest sauce pan they will finally make a molehill out that darn mountain. You either had a 41 or 39 at best… that’s it, and we all sucked it up. Today we are overly obsessed with equipment, there is always an upgrade somewhere. We created this monster and now it’s eating us and our wallets. I remember rides been organised with good folks who in most cases was purely doing it to benefit charities. We see less of that today and entry fees are becoming silly. What’s next? Wesbank HP for a season pass? 🤭 Cycling is getting overly complicated with too much tech, guys are giving up good rides because of battery life? Something is very wrong with this picture me thinks. Is every ride now just about numbers? Is watching the rands not enough on the JSE? 🤭 We are falling further away from the joys of just pedalling our bikes… I suggest a “ride nake day”.. you strip the bike of power meters, cadence and speed and gps and tire gauges and lights and radars.. and all you do is ride, and your entry for the day benefits some real people in need, not funding that municipalities Christmas party! 😂 okay. I’m done.🤭🤓✅
  20. BM…. Went past and didn’t see anybody at the shop,,only to find the premises locked up.
  21. Alot of talk about beer, but what about waffles? You can’t use the Belguim flag without waffles… 🤓.
  22. A 2x…thigh big ring and calf’s small ring = walking pace.😅
  23. I wonder if Sram would be interested in bringing Stages in-house and integrating into a new line. The electrical components are coming in leaps and bounds. LOOK have invested as they see the Chinese coming hard from a price point, so it’s will be a price war with established companies versus new kids. South Africa is a small market so tend to have limited supply and demand, so we do get milked but online has reshaped the consumers shopping habits. I see the LBS taking hard knocks to keep up with tech trends.
  24. I wouldn’t touch TREK!ever. They dropped the moral ball with the Greg Lemond saga! And acting disgracefully, I personally believe karma is on its way! Plus that brand is linked to the biggest cycling fraud to ever hit our sport! It has zero value in my eyes. Cycling will carry on regardless, hopefully Trekless. The new challenges ahead is backup and parts, as more riders decide to have a forever bike!
